Not Good.
By William Rabbe on 09/12/2008
This probably confirmed the suspicions of many that Gov. Palin is terminally naive when it comes to foreign affairs... Disturbing. Palin obviously didn't know that the Bush doctrine refers to the right of our country to pre-emptively strike at another country for purposes of self-defense -- and when asked for a yes or no answer on invading Pakistan, she sounds like a broken record, just repeating the same talking point nearly three times. It hurts to watch. MORE »
Sarah Barracuda & The Red Meat Ramblers
By Sarah Scully on 09/04/2008
By Sarah Scully Given the amount of red meat dished out last night, it seemed best to let it digest overnight before attempting to blog about it. Last week, Barack Obama reinforced his bridge across the aisle by trotting out various Republican supporters and honoring McCain's military record. He tried to strike a balance by appealing to Independents and moderate Republicans with an attack that was less about party identity than singling out the bad apple that is the Bush administration. The GOP took the opposite tack on Wednesday night, with a line-up of Red Meat Ramblers who revived the... MORE »
Day One of GOP Convention Hindered By Gustav, Protestors and Innuendo
By Sarah Scully on 09/02/2008
By Sarah Scully The GOP scaled back several of the events planned for the first day of the convention. With hurricane Gustav looming, delegates arrived to minimal fanfare. Clumps of protestors and squadrons of police roamed the streets while journalists debated the significance of the latest revelation that Sarah Palin's teenage daughter is pregnant. The convention was called to order inside as demonstrators began to clash with the authorities outside. Cindy McCain and Laura Bush dispensed with partisan sentiment and instead called for cooperation in assisting storm victims. Party officials spent the evening monitoring current events in order to plan... MORE »

Reactions to Palin Pick
By Sarah Scully on 08/30/2008
By Sarah Scully Given the disparity between mainstream media interest in Obama's VP selection versus McCain's, is it any wonder the Republican candidate made such a bold move? The publicity factor was clearly not the central reason for selecting Sarah Palin, but she has managed to shove Obama off of center stage for the time being. With a "maverickish" track record of her own, an intriguing life story and a face resembling Tina Fey's, the MSM may have just found a new crush. The criticism leveled at news organizations suggesting that their disproportionate coverage of Obama is a result of... MORE »
Palin
By William Rabbe on 08/29/2008
After surprising the country with his veep pick, will McCain's choice of Sarah Palin pick up votes from Hillary Democrats, or will this be more akin to the 1984 election? Will gender be a determining factor, over party affiliation? Look for Hillary Clinton's reaction in the coming days.... MORE »
